QUOTES BY Jimmy Carter


We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.

Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world.

We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.

I have often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can't get my wife to go swimming.

I've looked on many women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.

Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries.

I'll never tell a lie. I'll never make a misleading statement. I'll never betray the confidence that any of you had in me. And I'll never avoid a controversial issue.

We've become, now, an oligarchy instead of a democracy. I think that's been the worst damage to the basic moral and ethical standards to the American political system that I've ever seen in my life.

You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it even better than you think you can.
